UV light based decontamintation and effective and fast way for disinfection of endoscopes in otorhinolaryngology

D25⁺
2025
Canada

The study evaluates the efficiency of UV-C light in disinfecting rigid endoscopes in otorhinolaryngology using the D25⁺ system. The results demonstrate a significant reduction in bacterial contamination, with a log-5 reduction in bacterial load and minimal protein residues on the endoscopes after UV treatment. The D25⁺ system is proven to be an effective, fast, and cost-efficient solution for disinfection in clinical practice.​

NHS Scotland Guidance for Decontamination of Semi-Critical Ultrasound Probes; Semi-invasive and Non-invasive Ultrasound Probes

D45
2025

Health Protection Scottland (HPS) undertook a scientific literature review on the decontamination of Semi-invasive Ultrasound Probes (SIUPs). The findings of the review highlighted UV-C as demonstrating superior efficacy in the reprocessing of ultrasound probes. Conclusions of the NHS Scotland Guidance:

1) There is high level (1+ and level 2) published evidence to support the use of UV-C light systems for decontamination of SIUPs
2) There is low-level published evidence (level 3) to support the use of  automated chemical systems (hydrogen peroxide) for decontamination of SIUPs    
3) There is low-level published evidence (level 3) to support the use of a manual detergent/disinfection/rinse (multi-wipe ) system for decontamination of SIUPs

Recommendations for the Cleaning of Endocavity Ultrasound Transducers Between Patients

D45
2025
Netherlands

This article proports to update the WFUMB 2017 guidelines which focussed on the cleaning and disinfection of trans-vaginal ultrasound transducers between patients. UV-C technology is another approach to disinfecting endocavity transducers. It works by emitting ultravioletlight in the 200−280nm range, disrupting the DNA and RNA of microorganisms. Various manufacturers offer medical-certified UV-C disinfection devices for the HLD of ultrasound  transducers, such as: the UV Smart D45. Numerous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of UV-C disinfection and reaching HLD against a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses and spores.

Analysis of bacterial contamination and the effectiveness of ultraviolet

D45
2025
Canada

This study demonstrates the effectiveness of the D45 in reducing bacterial contamination on ultrasound probes. The results obtained from standardized  RAMS test bodies also highlight the high germ reduction capabilities, with proofing a log7 reduction. The D45 method significantly reduced bacterial load, with 70% of probes (35x) showing no residual contamination (steriel). Out of the 50x probes tested on bacterial contamination only 15x showed less than 10cfu contamination (HLD), the threshold for HLD is <10cfu. All the found contamination were skin flora and environmental flora, due to sampeling errors.

Netherlands

Previous research shows that UV-C light disinfection effectively reduces colony-forming units. In addition, UV-C light disinfection is more sustainable, because it uses no water or chemicals and limited electricity. The D60 with UV-C disinfection is also more cost-effective than other disinfection methods or disposable endoscopes.

The D60 and the pre-cleaning protocol for reprocesisng flexible endoscopes in clinical settings, is as effective as the current standard: Cidex OPA.  Of the 50x endoscopes tested, 47x endoscopes showed 0 cfu contamination (sterile), and 3x showed less than 10 CFU's contamination (HLD), the threshold  for HLD is <10cfu. All the found contamination on the 3x scopes were skin flora and environmental flora, due to sampeling errors.

A multicenter study comparing the bacterial reduction on flexible endoscopes without a working channel between UV-C light disinfection versus standard endoscope Washer Disinfection: a randomized controlled trial

D60
2025
Netherlands

600 flexible endoscpes without a working channel were tested over three Hospitals. UV-C light disinfection of flexible endoscopes without a working channel is more effective in reducing CFUs compared to the endoscope washer disinfector. After an endscopy, a manual pre-cleaning with tap water was performed. However, the manual precleaning in this study consisted of moistening a gauze pad with tap water and moving it rotationally from proximal to distal over the flexible endoscope to remove visible debris.

The D60 and the pre-cleaning protocol is effective in reprocesisng Flexible Endoscopes in Clinical Settings. All 50x endoscopes were <1ug protein free after pre-cleaning, test bodies showed a log7 reduction in the D60, and out of the 50x endoscopes tested on bacterial contamination only 1 endoscopes showed more than 1 cfu.
